Association of University Language Communities’ (AULC) annual conference 2021

The 22nd Association of University Language Communities’ (AULC) annual conference will take place over 3 days (Mon 29 – Wed 31 March 2021) and will be hosted by the University of Leeds, online. The conference title is [Digital] Practitioners, Pedagogy and Policy.

The aim of the conference is to enable language centre practitioners, language educators and scholars to present and discuss their practice, pedagogies and scholarship/research around these three broad strands of language education in HE.

We hope that by holding the conference over 3 days, delegates will have more time to peruse the pre-recorded talks in advance, and post comments and questions. There will be opportunities to participate in some live presentations, synchronous discussions and workshops.

It will be an opportunity for our community to come together to share scholarship/research, pedagogy, practice and reflections on teaching in our context. We welcome contributions from language educators in world languages and cultures including English and EAP. This year in particular participants are encouraged to reflect on the impact of remote and digital language teaching and learning.
